I'm in the market for a new tv and all this crap just makes me want to scream in frustration. But prolonging the decision will just make it even worse.

On top of that my 2017 shield is starting to show its age and there is really no comparable 4k (streaming) alternative thats not a security risk. I feel more and more pushed towards piracy, so that I can use my linux box and decide how and where to watch content. I hate it...

Yeah I've been doing that for years on every site I use frequently (so far that I even got my own YouTube filter list on github). It doesn't help with broken searches ignoring operators, but it makes the web a much better place nonetheless!

Aw shit! Thought there was nothing left that would keep me from completely ditching windows (htpc, pihole, homelab ... everything but my workstation is Linux already). I recently got a headset tho and quite enjoy it... What a bummer :(

It is, or at least was, one of the most famous German lullabies (Guten Abend, gut' Nacht). The music is from Brahms, wo made it famous. It started as a regional folk poem tho.

I think I got three recommendations you might enjoy.

  • Green: Yutaka Midori No1 - slightly cheaper alternative to Gyokuro; deep green and very aromatic cup, sweet, slightly astringent but no bitterness ( shaded for about a week before harvest)
  • Oolong: Thai Ruby Red - more on the fermented side, very aromatic red cup with flowery notes reminiscent of Darjeeling, no smokiness like e.g a formosa
  • Black: Benifuuki Black - a very intense and complex black tee with a nice sweetness ( usually made into a high grade green tea)

Edit: My personal daily drivers are: Darjeeling Ambootia Second flush (Strong, nutty, with some flowery notes) and a Korea Sencha from a local shop (sadly no info on the garden, quite green and surprisingly sweet) both organic and still quite affordable.

We got a lullaby with that line here in Germany. "Morgen früh, wenn Gott will, wirst du wieder geweckt."

Tell that to my IBM 10GB 10.000 RPM U2W SCSI from back then. To this day I have never witnessed a noisier harddrive... But that PC was pretty epic, including the biggest mf of a mainboard I ever had (the SCSI controller was onboard).

Yeah, the tinkering is part of the fun. Right now I'm still perfecting my OMV NAS/Homelab but after that I might look into custom routers. I'm still hoping to get fibre in the foreseeable future, but right now it's not looking too good in my area...

That's the problem with my router... I can't. I've seen it done with OpenWRT but I chose the wrong model for that...

[–] Onsotumenh@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 7 months ago (5 children)

I wanted to do that as well, but I can't redirect outgoing traffic on my router, just block it entirely. Sadly it was the only device of that series not supporting OpenWRT (sigh)... Next one will either have to support that or be a DIY project... Have been starting to self host my stuff already and I'm not planning to stop there!

Doesn't help if the device has a baked in DNS address and just ignores your settings tho. Amazon and Google devices seem prone to that. After blocking everything on the common DNS ports except the PiHole, some of my devices have been acting kinda sluggish.
